The News

April 2nd - In order to mark the anniversary of Team M33's inception, they released their own little April Fool's Joke. Users who installed 3.90 M33-3 checked their PSPs on April 2nd to realized that their system software read "3.33 M33-3", their nickname read "March 33", and their MAC address read "33:33:33:33:33:33", and their background wave running at ridiculous speeds. The next day it was all over but it did cause more than a few people to freak out for a second before having a good laugh. Happy Birthday Team M33! Thanks for all the great firmwares!

April 2nd - The PlayStation Store is revealed to be region free. This means users can sign in under other regions to purchase games that may not have been released yet in their region.

April 6th - Sony PlayStation Store DRM was cracked meaning all of the PlayStation-Network-only games can now be easily pirated.

April 7th - Official firmware 3.95 released. New features include the ability to:

Customize the controls in your PSOne games.
Turn off or leave on your PS3 when quitting remote play

April 9th - Sony sends out a "hacking" poll. Sony describes it as "ongoing PSP consumer research".

April 11th - PSP outsells all other console for two weeks in a row in Japan.

April 17th - New version of XLink Kai is out, now up to 7.3.1.6. For the uninitiated, this program allows you to play ad-hoc only games with others via the internet from a compatible wifi node.

Xlink Kai Homepage

April 26th - A new custom firmware is released by an annonymous author. The new firmware is called simply "CFW 3.93". The author explains that he didn't call by a new firmware name since nearly all the work was based on Team M33's work and he didn't call it an M33 release because they aren't associated with it. New features of "CFW 3.93" include the ability to:

Uses the 3.93 kernel
Use Recovery Mode from within the xmb (freezes xmb while in use), changes go into effect immediately
Make a Pandora battery from Recovery Mode
Hide the MAC address (for stupid people who think this matters, lol)
Save games in decrypted format (using a 3rd party plugin)
Disadvantage: Incompatible with popsloader
Download CFW 3.93

April 27th - A 1.50 kernel plugin is released for "CFW 3.93"

1.50 kernel plugin for CFW 3.93

April 28th - MatheiuLH announced that Team M33 plans on waiting until ofw 4.00 is released before starting work on a new M33 firmware, he also took the time to dispel rumors that they made the CFW 3.93, however he said he does know the author and offers him his congratulations on his release.

Oct 09 - Team tOc release an anti-update plugin to block the update icon that constantly shows up with so many UMDs.

Oct 19 - 1seg tuner hacked to work with PSP fat.
Oct 20 - PSP Media Manager Pro now with PSN support - Makes it possible to copy playstation network games and saved data from the PC to the PSP and vice-versa, meaning you can now download PSX games from Sony without owning a PS3.
Oct 23 - Pandora batteries are made from the thin PSP slim batteries.
Oct 31 - Official 3.72 - Support for Playstation Network titles has been expanded.
Oct 31 - changes in the PSN Terms of Agreement - "You may not introduce content that could be harmful to SCEA, its licensor, or players such as any code or virus that may damage any property or interfere with the use of the property or PSN". This will probably be used to prevent any files being uploaded related to PSP modding or homebrew.

For September 2007:

***I ran out of room here, check another video I made for the PSP scene links.***
Sept 1st - Datel selling Pandora clones called Max Power, however they don't work on their own and you still need the Pandora memory card image to access Service Mode. Cost of $24.99. Unfortunately, since a HEned PSP is required to make the files needed, the battery by itself is useless.
Sept 2nd - LAIR, the dragon fighting flight simulator for PS3 (yes, I made a mistake on this in the video) is the first game to use remote play feature. You can control your dragon and watch the game remotely from your PSP.
Sept 3rd - CXMB v2.31 is released, allowing the use of themes on 3.40 and 3.52 custom firmwares with no flashing involved.
http://tinyurl.com/yumsjt
Sept 5th, Sept 6th - PSP Slim officially go on sale in Europe and the US respectively. The slim is priced $169.99 US. Featuring a brand new TA-085 motherboard. Shipped with 3.60 firmware.
Sept 6th - Sony officially bans all homebrew-related discussion on their message boards. They released a laundry list of things that can no longer be discussed on Sony message boards including custom firmware, theme applications, emulators, cheat programs, firmware flashing, and more.
Sept 6th - PSP Slim Sony firmware 3.60 dumped by Mathieulh with the help of Dark Alex. As you may know, dumping a firmware is the first step in hacking it.
Sept 8th - iR Shell v3.62 out, compatible with 3.52 M33
http://tinyurl.com/2878tb
Sept 9th - Fanjita and Team Noobz release the 3.11 Fw HEN/Downgrader. This downgrader uses the US or EUR version of Lumines.
http://tinyurl.com/26hld6
Sept 10th - Team M33 release 3.60 M33 cfw for PSP Slim. Has all the features of 3.52 M33 except 1.50 kernal support - meaning it a much lower homebrew compatibility rate. Uses the pandora battery for installation.
http://tinyurl.com/yrvjmt
Sept 10th - Sony released official 3.70 firmware.
Sept 10th - PSP Brightness fix for TA-082 and TA-086 motherboards. Fixed the brightness problem caused by earlier downgraders on certain motherboards. Not to be used in firmwares higher than 3.51 M33-7.
http://tinyurl.com/27pmer
Sept 12th - Sony begins releasing official themes for firmware 3.70. 10 themes are released: cookies, classy pink, lemmings, wipeout, and pursuit force. Several themes appear to be subtle advertising for the games they represent.
Sept 13th - Official Sony firmware 3.71 released. New features include support for "custom" themes, assigning buttons in remote play, scene search feature in video as well as sequential playback, and music can now be played while viewing pictures in Photo (it's about time).
Sept 15th - Team Noobz released eLOADER V1.000 to help run certain homebrew on the Slim 3.60 M33.
http://tinyurl.com/26tgzq
Sept 17th - Tean NeoFlash releases a custom made Motion sensor kit reported to work with all fat PSPs.
Sept 21st - Normal boot loader for P_B. Booster of DevHook fame releases an application to allow you to load into your firwmare normally while using a P_B battery. This can remove the need for having more than one battery or for having to un-Pandora your battery after every use.
http://tinyurl.com/22mttd
Sept 21st - Ahman, maker of iR Shell announces that he is working on an app to allow PSPs to play PSX games two player via wifi.
Sept 23rd - Team M33 released CFW 3.71 M33. Team M33 announces that they are Dark_AleX and friends. Unfortunately, 3.71 M33 has been proven to have several bugs and vulnerabilities so it's unwise to update to it at this time.
Sept 24th - Sony releases new "Pandora-proof" batteries. PSP-110. Don't buy a new Sony battery if you're planning on making a Pandora. Also, keep in mind many budget batteries cannot be made into Pandoras either.
Sept 28th - Sony Japan releases an official PSP Theme Maker (it's about time)
Sept 28th - In Japan, PSP outsells all other consoles combined for the week ending sept 23rd. This success was of course aided by the release of crisis core: final fantasy 7. The PSP sold 277k units, DS in second place with 70k, then wii with 24k, ps2 with 11k and ps3 with 10k. Never underestimate the power of Final Fantasy.
Sept 28th - Dark_AleX releases Despertar Cementerio, a universal unbricker for PSPs fat and slim. According to DA, you should only restore dumps made with your own PSPs. He said using a dump from another PSP could lead to brickage or idstorage corruption.
http://tinyurl.com/yureyo
Sept 30th - Dark_AleX releases 1.50 kernel addon for fat only versions of 3.71 M33. Again, due to some issues with 3.71 M33, it is advised that you stay at 3.40 OE/* or 3.52 M33-4.
http://tinyurl.com/2ejyja
Sept 30th - VideopSpy v3.0 is released
